For me should have gone reckless high tackle. Think the sending off did bulls a favour TBH. Pulled you all together. Thought you played quite well

Taken from bbc's report: "He appeared to try to dislodge the ball from Tomkins' hands but referee Steve Ganson decided he intended to harm the player"



So the referee believed there was in intent and thats why he sent him off according to BBC. As I have said previously I personally dont feel it warranted a red card.

Probably has to be classed as "reckless" rather than "careless", even if no way deliberate.



In that case, had the boot been on the other foot we would have been clamouring for a red card. But given lack of intent (no matter what the fekkwittery from the Piedome would have you believe) would have to be SOS.



Sort of like we were two weeks ago against fax, when what looked to all he world like a smash in Lynch's face was not red-carded.



Or a few weeks ago when we all saw Webb smash Elima in the face as he scored, but nothing eventuated.



It is the sodding inconsistency - especially when it forever seems not to be in our favour - that is winding people up, I feel?

Ganson didn't have a clue so how he knows that Raynor intended to harm Tomkins is beyond me.

Because it's only natural?

Maybe the Clown was watching the game live in Oz and tweeted him to tell him what to do?

I could give you another stat about Ganson and Bulls players sent off but I won't.



Paul Anderson

Ben Harris

Leon Pryce

Joe Vagana

Paul Sykes

Gareth Raynor

As Adey says, the inconsistency is the most annoying thing.



At the time I thought the red was harsh. Watching in slow motion really does make it look 10x worse though. Has to be asked though, if it wasn't televised would Raynor have seen red?



If Webb had got red and the fax player too then I wouldn't have been half as miffed.



Tomkins looked fine walking down the tunnel too, and I swear I could see a hint of a smirk there (but maybe that's just cos I don't like the kid)

It was a sending off but I have no sympathy for Sam Tompkins who seems to want to drag RL down to football's level by faking penalties and crying when things don't go his way.



Let's be honest it helped us out really.
